Faber‑com MAS2L Joystick (Voltage / Signal Output)

Description

The MAS2L is a single-axis electronic joystick that outputs a voltage (signal) output ideal for controlling proportional hydraulic systems. It is part of Faber‑com’s MAS/MAP joystick family, where MAS versions provide signal outputs and MAP versions provide power (PWM) outputs.

It uses redundant Hall effect sensors to detect the position of a permanent magnet (i.e., the joystick lever), which eliminates mechanical wear and ensures long-term reliability.
